China has defended its coast guard patrols around Taiwan islands, stating that they are 'beyond reproach.' The Chinese government made this assertion in response to concerns raised by Taiwan regarding the increasing presence of Chinese vessels in the region.
According to Chinese officials, the coast guard patrols are conducted in accordance with international law and are aimed at safeguarding China's sovereignty and maritime interests. They emphasized that these patrols are legitimate and necessary for maintaining peace and stability in the area.
